Comment 20 for bug 304309

It is not true that hardy won't work with Global Menu.

The Global Menu applet makes use of gnome-settings-daemon to allow the user
to load/unload the Global menu gtk module on the fly.

Hardy uses gnome 2.22 or earlier when gnome-settings-daemon didn't implement
this feature. Therefore the hardy users have to manually export GTK_MODULES
variable.

This fact is also stated in README.GNOME, which will be included in the
0.7.5 release.
